Bottom Line• Research Questions
– Does employment increase?Yes
– Does income increase?Yes
• Limitations– Post-Treatment Survey
Ideal: Panel Data– Non-Randomized Treatment

Nutrition Research Questions
• What is the prevalence of child malnutrition in the Bunyuka Parish?
• In comparison to the control, does the treatment positively affect the nutritional status of children?
![Page 21: DRC Capstone Presentation 4-24 ConDev](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547d5872b4af9f691b8b49d2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Nutrition Methodology
• Control Study– WHO Standardized Measurements
• Average Treatment on the Treated (ATT)– Independent Variable: Nutritional Therapy– Dependent Variables: Height-for-Age (HFA), Weight-for-Age (WFA)
![Page 22: DRC Capstone Presentation 4-24 ConDev](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547d5872b4af9f691b8b49d2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Bottom Line
• Research QuestionsWhat is the prevalence of child malnutrition in Bunyuka Parish?
Very prevalentIn comparison to the control, does the treatment positively affect the nutritional status of children?
Yes, but it is best for children under 3 years• Limitations
–Not a perfect control–Post-treatment survey only
